China-based global mobile and lifestyle brand Xiaomi continues its premise of delivering powerful and engaging mobile devices that are slated to cater to the digital lifestyle needs of its Filipino customers with the recent launch of its newest midrange marvel, the Xiaomi Mi 8, as well as its latest budget-friendly Redmi 6 and Redmi 6A. 

The Mi 8 is an interesting midrange smartphone that sports AI-powered dual rear cameras and runs on an AI-powered Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor. On the other hand, the Redmi 6 and 6A have similar specs such as a Mediatek Helio P22 processor, 5.45-inch HD+ display with 18:9 aspect ratio, and 3000 mAh battery life but the former has dual rear cameras with AI capabilities that can make taking selfies and photos more tedious as usual. Anyway, these three will become available in Mi Authorized Stores in the Philippines by August but any of the three can be availed online via Shopee considering that you have missed its Flash Sale on the three.

If you want to know more about any of Xiaomi's new monsters in the Philippine market, then check out their spec sheets and make your own first impressions about them.
